I noted in a post a few minutes ago that the cyberattacks had seemed to taper off. Reuters now reports that Operation Payback is over. The group Anonymous is no longer engaging in or encouraging the Denial of Service attacks which crippled several websites over the past few days.

In an overnight blog post, Anonymous announced a change of strategy, saying it now aimed to publish parts of the confidential U.S. diplomatic cables as widely as possible and in ways that made them as hard as possible to trace.
